[HTCondor-users] Condor and Photoshop action

[Gandor Florian swisstopo <Florian.Gandor@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Condor users,

 

Does anyone already managed to run a Photoshop action on HTCondor? If yes, is there a special parameters that need to be activated in the submit file?

The executable (.vbs) will be as followed:

Dim appRef

Dim docRef

Dim actionName

Dim setName

Dim inputFile

Dim outputFile

 

 

Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")

appRef.BringToFront

 

set inputFile = “some\path\A.tif”

set outputFile = “some\path\B.tif”

set actionName = “actionA”

set setName = “setA”

 

Set docRef = appRef.Open(inputFile)

 

appRef.DoAction actionName, setName

 

docRef.SaveAs outputFile

 

appRef.quit

 

 

It seems to me that Photoshop needs the GUI to run actions and that HTCondor can’t run applications that need the GUI to work…

In advance, thanks for your answer,

 

Florian
